English

marin [14]3 years ago
7 0

The character of Editha is a foil, developed to portray the fickleness of the arguments that support war. The author ironically reveals how Editha repeats the passages from newspapers and magazines supporting the need to go to war. But the author takes a step further to give us a view of Editha’s perception when she says, "But now it doesn't matter about the how or why. Since the war has come, all that is gone. There are no two sides any more. There is nothing now but our country." Finally, toward the end of the story, Mrs. Gearson sarcastically says, "No, you didn't expect him to get killed," a commentary by the author to show the ignorance of people who idealize war.

Write an essay in which you explain how Goli Taraghi uses the narrator in order to develop Gol-Maraym's character throughout the
Brrunno [24]

Answer and Explanation:

Goli Taraghi presents a very descriptive narrator. This narrator makes extensive use of adjectives full of details that are able to describe and expose to Golior Maraym's striking characteristics, his personality, his position in the face of situations and his behavior. The great importance of this narrator is that he is able to expose Gol-Maraym within the non-linearity that the character presents. That's because Gol-Maraym is a complex and nuanced character. This requires a very dynamic and canny narrator who can expose all these nuances and layers of personality, in addition to the changes presented throughout history.

This evidences the author's talent in building a precise and moldable narration that fits the character, helping the perception of its construction.
